GN has implemented several policies for managing material impacts related to its own workforce. As a member of the UN Global Compact since 2010, GN is committed to safeguarding human rights and labor rights principles in its own workforce. Accordingly, GN operations and business activities are guided by the UN guiding principles on Business and Human Rights, ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. GN upholds human rights principles through the implementation of policies and procedures which prevent discrimination, harassment, advances diversity, and ensure fair and equal treatment of its workforce.

GN has planned several initiatives to foster continuous improvement and accountability in its DEI efforts. These include:

• Implementation of a global leadership program for 1000+ leaders with a focus on inclusive leadership.
• An improved exit interview process to inform drivers of turnover and ensure that voluntary turnover between women and men is balanced.
• Continuous implementation of the governance model to ensure that women are shortlisted and considered for leadership positions.

These initiatives are aimed at addressing the identified material potential negative impact related to the lack of diversity and apply across all Group companies.
